2023 Hyundai Tucson gains Bluelink compatibility
But entry-level Hyundai Tucson model misses out, and Elite and Highlander prices rise by $500The 2023 Hyundai Tucson has become the latest model to gain Hyundai’s new Bluelink connected services suite and app functionality, but only mid-range Elite and flagship Highlander variants receive the upgrade.
Bluelink brings a suite of new safety and connectivity features to the Tucson mid-size SUV, including automatic collision notification, voice recognition, remote services, remote vehicle check and cloud-based navigation.
Bluelink’s addition to the Elite and Highlander standard equipment lists have added $500 to the prices of all relevant models, with no changes to pricing or spec made elsewhere in the range.
That means the range still opens from $34,900 plus on-road costs for the Hyundai Tucson base model and now tops out at $52,900 plus ORCs for the Highlander CRDi.
Other models with Bluelink compatibility include the facelifted Hyundai Palisade and 2023 Hyundai Venue.

- Automatic Collision Notification
